Summer 2016 options will be available soon.
CUSD Summer School Options - Health is offered online and in person each summer for rising 9th graders who have an impacted schedule. Geometry may also be offered for qualifying 9th graders who want to accelerate their math sequence for high school. A summer Geometry course is an accelerated 1 year course taken over a summer so is not recommended for most students who have just completed Algebra. It is fast paced and geared for students who excelled in Algebra.
